About Izakaya Haiiro

Tucked along Hawthorne Road, Izakaya Haiiro pairs moody, low-lit intimacy with modern Japanese dishes built for sharing. Tabletop mini hibachi grills arrive alongside carved tomahawk platters, letting guests sear each bite right at the table. Regulars lean toward the lobster spicy miso soba—a rich, creamy bowl laced with shellfish sweetness and gentle heat. Pair it with charcoal-grilled robata skewers, crisp beef croquettes, and a citrus-tinged cocktail.

  • Tabletop hibachi tomahawk: Carved steak platters arrive alongside a personal charcoal burner for searing cuts directly at the table.
  • Lobster spicy miso soba: Tender lobster tossed with soba noodles in a rich, spicy miso cream sauce.
  • Moody, intimate interior: Subtly dramatic cave-like dining room suited for evening dates and small shared plates.
